College Life As Understood By Elle Woods

Elle Woods changed my life growing up, she instantly became one of my role models, a face for justice. As a child, she inspired me to become apart of the social science community of Journalism and of Law. But, I must not forget style. Most importantly, Elle taught me that I could do anything even if i am doubted by my own peers.

There is only one way to start and end the day: listening to catchy songs that make you feel special, like “Perfect day” by Hoku.

You get excited at the slightest opportunity so when things don’t go as planned academically or socially you can’t help but lose your cool in public.

You have an emotional breakdown after your test because half of what you studied for wasn’t even on it?

Introducing yourself for the first time always goes better than you think.


Sometimes you need to escape campus life because, you start needing a sense of reality to remind you why you are at school to begin with.

When you are forced to participate in a group project, so you try to find people you don’t know. It is not like grade school where the teacher will pair you up. You will have to deal with difficult personalities and not let it affect your success. Even in the most prestiges of schools you will find that people are the same and that you are in charge of where you go with the right attitude leading the way.

You’re constantly trying new things and it sucks when things don’t happen how you pictured them to. Sometimes you have to take a step back and realize it is for the best after all. Next week an opportunity will interrupt your life and you will forget your original plan.


Believe it or not everyone is at college for a reason so don’t make your experience any less valuable because someone doubts your intelligence. In a couple of years everyone who attends college will graduate with some kind of debt and a different major so don't let the narrow mindsets of others change your perspective. People will always try and find weakness.

You realize that you’ve grown so much by the second half on your freshman year that you are becoming more capable of handling the most difficult of people and situations. Minimizing your role in drama surrounding those who didn't bother to make you important is just the beginning of becoming a good role model.

In order to stand out, you have to be yourself no matter what others think. Don’t let the judgments of others change your personality. If wearing bright colors in a dull colored room offends anyone they are seriously disturbed.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
